Hi, Chris,
Did you create a JIRA ticket for this?
I was hoping to get a proper chance to look over this, but haven't
managed as yet.
One thing I did notice on a superficial glance is the indentation in
the files isn't consistent (I said it was superficial!). I guess you
have different tab width settings, but might be better to convert the
tabs to spaces before it goes into JIRA, assuming it's not already
there.
Cheers
Martin
